Pieces of leftover veneer are pressed together to form a sturdy whole. For this modular shelving system, the industrial process of laminating is applied manually.

Normally, veneer is used to cover a less attractive material underneath. Here, veneer is used throughout the whole object. By pressing the layers together over a solid wooden structure, the material is formed and strengthened.
